Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is an opportunity for all types of UK organisations (including businesses and academia) to get funding for research and innovation. For UK businesses this is an opportunity to collaborate with partners with the right expertise to expand markets and accelerate innovation across Europe and internationally.
Horizon Europe – EU research and innovation programme
Horizon Europe runs until 2027 and is a €95.5 billion European funded programme for Research and Innovation (R&I) for all types of organisations, including businesses, SMEs and academia. This website will give you information on the programme itself, relevant news, events and funding, and help you to connect to the right people for support.
